Gun Control & RKBA

(18,641 posts)...the GOP will work against it just because Democrats are for it. Vilifying them and complaining about them will not improve the situation. Maybe lots of them are only against gun-control because most Democrats are for it. The only answer to actually get what you want is through bi-partisan cooperation. The only means to that cooperation is to have constituents to whom the issue matters on your side or, at the very least, not against you.
You're not in the GCRA forum. I don't look there much but last weekend I didn't see a lot of activity. If your interest is only to bemoan the lack of progress, you're responding to the wrong person. I don't see any meaningful progress but I do see progress as possible.
I said a number of times that the AR-15 is currently the best selling of all rifle styles. Many here including me have said that of all types of firearms, rifles are used to murder least. If you need to know why ARs are often used in spree shootings, the likely reason is just that they have been the most popular style for rifles for a time. If you could ban them, another style of rifle, which would for certain and for sure be functionally as deadly, will become the 'best selling of all rifle styles'.
Why do you feel banning things will address gun deaths?
